Wolford Velvet de Luxe 50 Stay-Up Stockings
Braise ratingHighly Recommended
Matte, opaque black stay-ups with a wide striped satin band. They look polished rather than racy, and that's exactly why they work.

How we vetted it
Vetted from Wolford's product page. Wolford doesn't publish the fabric blend or care for this style online, and we found no detailed owner reviews, so we've kept to what the brand states. We haven't worn them.
What works well
Velvet de Luxe is Wolford's soft, matte opaque, made with a velvet-finish yarn and double-wrapped elastane for stretch. Fifty denier is fully opaque, so they read as tailored and grown-up rather than lingerie-drawer. The wide satin band, striped opaque and sheer, holds them up without a garter belt and is the detail that shows when a skirt moves. Sizes run from XS to L.
Why we chose it
- Fully opaque, matte finish
- Striped satin band
- Soft velvet-finish yarn
- No garter belt needed
In your room
Opaque black is the quiet option: with a pencil skirt or an oversized shirt it says office until the satin band shows. That makes it a natural fit for role play, and for anyone who feels more confident covered.

Skip it if
You want sheer, or a color other than black.
Who it's for
Anyone playing a buttoned-up character, or who simply prefers opaque to sheer, and wants stay-ups that look polished.
